According to several reports, the Blue Jays offered Halladay to Philly for starter J.A. Happ, top minor league pitching prospect Kyle Drabek and high-potential prospect outfielder Dominic Brown. But the Phillies balked at how steep the offer was and decided to decline.

Granted, Halladay could still be traded to the Phillies by next week’s deadline, but it would probably take Toronto coming down a bit on their demands. Philadelphia reportedly would be willing to trade Drabek or Happ, but not both. Instead, rumor has it that they would be willing to include prospect Carlos Carrasco instead of Happ or Drabek, but the Jays are looking for a haul.

Oddsmakers from online sports book SPORTSBETTING currently have the Phillies at 7/2 to win the National League Championship and 12/1 to win the 2009 World Series. If you feel as though Philly will eventually land Halladay, the time to jump on their World Series odds is N.O.W., as in: right now.
